DEAR FRIENDS,What you hold in your hands is what we think
is the best investment you can make in your
children’s spiritual formation. At Portage Lake,
a trained and caring Christian role model will
pay attention to your child for a whole week.
We want to come along side you in your desire
to raise joyful children of faith. We do that
with a staff that loves working with kids and
have displayed a lifetime of loving Christ. The
staff members are the people you want caring
for your kids and providing contemporary role
models for them.
Camp is old school fun with games, waterfront,
high adventure and bonfires, but it is also
contemporary with amazing worship bands
and speakers who know how to communicate
in dynamic and thoughtful ways. We are
here to serve you and to provide a week that
will never be forgotten. I hope to see you all
this summer as we bring God’s love into your
children’s lives in VIVID color.
Blessings,
Dave Nesburg
Executive Director

Pathfinders is the perfect way to start out the camp experience
for younger campers! For three days and two nights, campers
will experience fun games, group activities, and lots of time
to play and have fun together as a cabin. Chapel is filled with
camp songs and tons of hilarious and meaningful stories from
speaker Jerry Jacoby. Counselors make their campers feel right
at home and lead their cabin groups through an incredible
weekend!
Trailblazers is a week full of energy, friendship, and tons of
fun! Trailblazer campers experience new activities and skills,
make lifelong friends, and learn about the love of Jesus
Christ on a daily basis. For many, this is the age where first-
time commitments to Christ are made! The counselors and
other staff members spend all week teaching, having fun,
and listening to campers as they experience the love and joy
of Jesus together.
